"What a beautiful starry sky."
In the small courtyard’s gazebo, Lin Fan sat on a lounge chair, gazing at the twinkling stars in the sky. Despite having grown up in the countryside, he hadn’t seen such a clear, star-filled sky in a very long time.
The slightly cool mountain weather was exceptionally comfortable. As he sat there with his eyes half-closed, he seemed so relaxed, as if he had cast aside all worldly scheming and merged with the universe. This moment provided him with a bit of respite from the recent fatigue.
"Quite cozy, isn’t it?"
As Lin Fan sat there with his eyes half-closed, a crisp voice sounded. He quickly opened his eyes and saw Zhu Zhixuan standing outside the gazebo, smiling at him.
Lin Fan could never have anticipated that Zhu Zhixuan would suddenly appear. Ever since their last parted ways in the restaurant’s bathroom, she seemed to have vanished. Even the messages he sent received no replies.
"What, with a new house you don’t welcome old friends anymore? Everyone in the village says your house is quite Western-style; can’t I come for a visit?"
Zhu Zhixuan was wearing a figure-flattering floral dress that showcased her perfect curves. With every move, she radiated the charm of a mature woman, her figure graceful, her waist slender yet voluptuous, her long legs straight and proportional, her movements light, her form swaying gracefully.
"Of course not, I couldn’t be happier."
Lin Fan quickly got up from the rocking chair and stepped briskly toward Zhu Zhixuan. Looking into her dewy eyes, he wished he could just hold her in his arms.
"Hey, I’m not someone’s wife tonight, and I’m not here for you to take your revenge with. I’m just Zhu Zhixuan, can you not be so rough with me, please?"
Zhu Zhixuan looked at Lin Fan with a smile, her words clearly implying that Lin Fan could do anything, but not as recklessly as before, which also meant she might not leave tonight.
"Understood. So, should we start with a tour of my house, or my bed first?"
Lin Fan laughed and took Zhu Zhixuan’s delicate hand, gazing at her with a mischievous smile.
"Naughty, I have the whole night to explore your bed, so why don’t you show me around the other places first?"
Zhu Zhixuan raised her small fist and lightly punched Lin Fan’s chest, giving him a blushing, love-filled glance.
"Alright, alright, I was just asking."
Holding Zhu Zhixuan’s hand, Lin Fan took her on a grand tour of the house, talking and laughing in a very harmonious atmosphere. Upon reaching the second floor and entering Lin Fan’s room, everything naturally fell into place.
Gently taking Zhu Zhixuan’s tender lips into his, the 26-year-old still maintained the youthfulness of a woman in her early twenties. Lin Fan held her slightly thin frame tightly in his arms, indulging in the resilience of those round and soft breasts.
"Do you know? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dreamed of having a small home with you, cooking three meals a day, taking care of household chores, and having a bunch of children for us to dote on."
The room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, the dim light spilling onto the soft, large bed. Zhu Zhixuan rested in Lin Fan’s arms, listening to his steady heartbeat.
"I’m sorry, I was too cowardly before."
Lin Fan’s fingers gently brushed her hair. When he learned about how chaotic Zhu Zhixuan’s marriage was, he also felt guilty. If he had been braver back then, perhaps things could have been different.
"Even if I weren’t cowardly, what then? Could we have eloped? Everything is fate. Although my body was possessed by that beast, my soul and my lips were never tainted by him. If you don’t mind, you can have them from now on."
Zhu Zhixuan closed her eyes slightly, her breathing quickened, her cheeks blushed. Feeling his palm slowly descend into the abyss between her legs, the instant touch was like an electric current through her body. She trembled lightly, feeling the invasion of his fingers.
"How could I despise you? There’s too much love to go around."
Lin Fan’s lips approached her earlobe, his warm breath causing a tingling sensation. She involuntarily wrapped her arms around his neck, her sense of longing intensifying her breathing further. Although this wasn’t their first time making love, the first two encounters had been too thrilling for her to savor moments as wonderful as this.
Their bodies were tightly intertwined, each movement accompanied by deep gazes and whispered words of love. Her eyes were filled with trust and intoxication, while he responded to her affection with even more fervent motions. At that moment, it seemed as if the world consisted only of the two of them, all emotions converging in this intense union.
"Lin family, are you home?"
Just as their passion reached its height, a calling voice suddenly came from outside the second-floor window, causing both to startle and pause. Zhu Zhixuan then came back to her senses, "It’s the Sun Widow; she’s not looking to join in, is she!"
